Spirit Week! The one time of the year that it is not only acceptable, but also encouraged to dress as crazy as possible. In a way, I suppose it is our Feast of Fools (or at least our Festival of Fools)--we are crazy students relishing in the opportunity 
to be. . . CRAZY. Spirit week at Maranatha was different compared to high school. Yes, there were still students who refused to participate. (Oddly enough, they are usually the ones that look out of place.) But on the whole, the excitement of this past week surpassed any of my previous spirit week experiences. It was fun to relax and have fun. On the whole, it made classes a little more exciting than usual--if you got bored, just look around the room and you were sure to be entertained. Monday was Home State Day--Go Missouri! It was 
fun to see who was from what state. I myself have friends from Colorado, Wisconsin, Tennessee, and Alaska. It was also disappointing to see a certain Missouri friend walking around in a PACKERS shirt!

Originally it was going to be 1920s day, but seeing the impracticallity of this, the day was changed. The girls in my room and others 
donned colored tights, socks scrunched over our tennis shoes, outrageous tanks over Ts, and completed our outfit with side ponytails complete with a scrunchie. Welcome to the '90s!
Wednesday was Patriotic Day Sadly, I only have one picture--in the business of school, work, and church, we all changed before grabbing a photo :(. But I must say, Jarid and Tim make a great hanging flag.
Thursday: Blue & Gold Day--Go MBBC Crusaders! This, I must admit was the easiest day to get dressed for. School spirit was visible everywhere as nearly
every student donned blue & gold for the day.
Friday: Class Color Day-- Go FRESHMAN! Those of you who know me know that I would prefer NOT to wear pink (especially to the extent that I did on Friday). However, I and 230+ freshman made ourselves "pretty in pink". Jarid and the sophomores made a mountain of green across the gym from the freshman, juniors were a crazy bunch bathed in red,
and the seniors decked out in black & blue.

Question: Am I the friend from Tennessee?!?!? lol Tis sad though that I missed all but one day of Spirit week, so I didn't get to experience the zaniness of it all. So sad...
